static-server

static-server is a simple command line app written in Go that serves your current working directory as a static server.

Installation

Install the CLI tool:

go install github.com/tinacious/static-server@latest

Run the static-server command in any directory you'd like to serve as a web server.

If you have the following directory test:

test
├── index.html
└── style.css

You can do:

cd test
static-server

This should serve the contents on a random port.

You can configure the port by passing it as an environment variable. For example, to run on port 1337 run:

PORT=1337 static-server

Open ~/go/bin and delete static-server.
